In this episode of Tech Advantage, Tondow Abraham dives into an often-overlooked topic that directly impacts growth: investing in work tools and premium software.

Many people desire big results but rely solely on free tools, trial versions, and bare-minimum setups. While starting free is normal, there comes a point where limited tools begin to limit output, creativity, speed, and even opportunities.

Tondow breaks down why premium tools matter, using real-world analogies and tech-specific examples from AI tools like ChatGPT and Notion to developer tools like GitHub Copilot and paid hosting platforms. He explains how the right tools reduce friction, increase professionalism, and ultimately help you deliver better results faster.

This episode also explores a crucial mindset shift: seeing tools not as luxury items, but as investments assets that should save you time, increase efficiency, or make you more money than they cost.

If you’re a student, developer, creative, or founder trying to grow intentionally, this episode will help you rethink how you approach your workflow and career growth.

Key takeaway: The quality of your tools directly impacts the quality of your career.
